I like the new player overall. It's much faster to load and has better quality than the old one, but I do have 2 big problems with it that you haven't addressed.

1. Using "F" for fullscreen is nice, but it leaves the progress bar on screen at all times, while using the actual fullscreen button in the bottom right doesn't. "F" shouldn't be leaving it there, either.

Are you going to do something about the PS4 app next? The video quality is unacceptable in 2018. Steins; Gate 0 in particular looks disgusting. The colors are washed out and there's banding in every frame. I watched the same AoT simulcast back to back on the CR and Funimation PS4 apps. Funimation has vastly better sound and video quality.

I've been one of the 50% testing the new player for a while now. I had a few problems, and it was a bit barebones at first. It still needs some work to match the featureset of the old player, but the general functionality has been a huge improvement. Keyboard shortcuts are a welcome return. Subtitle and resolution options that are remembered between sessions will be a nice add. I never used the windowed player anyway, but I'm sure it's return would be welcomed by many.

Bugfixes and featureset improvements are all welcome, but the greatest improvement has just been the improved stability and cross-platform compatibility that come from switching to html5. As a linux user, I used to have the occasional flash compatibility errors on the mainsite to the point that I had my account linked to VRV just to use the alternate player. The old player had mostly fixed these issues, and had a much better featureset, but it really was long past time for it to go. I'm hoping to see more improvements, and I'm pretty confident that over time this player will be a huge improvement over the old one. It's already a welcome change, even it it's early state.

lol i get off for a hr and open to finish up something to see theres a diff video player old one worked just fine .

Adobe announced awhile back that they're going to be discontinuing the Flash Player, what Crunchyroll was using for a video player, by the year 2020. That's why Crunchyroll is changing their video player now. Especially if major issues do arise between now and then, then the site can at least revert back to the Flash Player until they fix it. Once Flash Player is gone they won't be able to. Thus why they've rolled out the HTML5 player now so that they can find and fix any bugs before that.

They said that that's one of the things they're working on in the Opening Post of this thread:

We are currently working on the following issues and will be releasing fixes shortly:
2. Subtitle selector: this will provide an ability to choose subtitle language within the video player, or turn them off entirely if desired.

I had the new player for a while and one of my MAJOR issues which made watching episodes tiring was when an ad came up it would play the ad then interrupt with an ad or jump back to the episode then back and forth between ad and episode for a while.

Has this been fixed? It was awful to experience and I don't want to go through it again. Also is there some way to know HOW long ads are gonna play for? No way to see length of an ad in the new player.
